{"product_id":"9781606502235","title":"Bio-Inspired Engineering","description":"About the BookMore and more, the patterns and scientific principles of natural living systems are being mimicked and exploited in man-made engineered systems and products. That trend is now starting to appear in the curricula design of engineering schools. This will be the first broad-based introduction to the influence of nature and biological systems in how things are designed and made, from new design paradigms and structural systems to \"self-healing materials\" and \"smart\" systems and robotics. Presented as a traditional textbook, with accompanying Solutions and Instructor's Manuals, it will offer both students and professionals new to the subject a window into the new world of engineering. The reader will find: A general overview of the relationship between living systems and engineering and how biosystems can and do affect engineering design, from  structural materials to thermal-fluid behavior to systems engineering   Applications of bio-systems to robotics and biomedical engineeringEnd of chapter problems and exercises to reinforce design concepts and expand understanding","brand":"Jenkins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48419676094782,"sku":"9781606502235","price":3916.77,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9781606502235_017268c8-e814-4051-8b7f-d3a52b9cb893.jpg?v=1715095001","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781606502235","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
